The 1st edition of Research.com ranking of the best universities in the field
of Biology and Biochemistry relies os data derived from
various data sources including OpenAlex and CrossRef. The bibliometric data for
estimating the citation-based metrics were gathered on 06-12-2021.
Position in the ranking is based on a sum of D-indexes (Discipline H-index) of all ranking
researcher’s affiliated with a given institution. D-index
takes into account only papers and citation
metrics for an examined discipline.

The range of our Biology and Biochemistry research
Our best universities ranking is a credible account of
leading researchers from the discipline of Biology and Biochemistry ,
established by means of a thorough analysis
of 166,880 scholars discovered from
various bibliometric data sources. For the discipline of
Biology and Biochemistry, as many as 23135 researchers were
investigated.
What is D-index inclusion threshold for Biology and Biochemistry
The D-index threshold for approving a scientist to be
examined is placed at 40 if
the majority of of their publications are in the field of Biology and Biochemistry. The
acceptance requirements for scientists to be
considered into the ranking of top scholars are based on the D-index,
ratio of the publications made within the given
discipline as well as the awards and achievements of the
scientists. The D-index threshold for listing best
researchers is set as an increment of 10 depending on the overall number of
scholars projected for each
discipline whilst making sure that the top 1% of
leading scientists are added into the ranking.
We estimate a proximity of 30% or less between a
researcher’s general H-index and their D-index.
Extra verification rules
As our main aim is to guarantee that only
actual scholars are listed in
Research.com ranking we believe that metrics are never
meant to be a complete means to evaluate the
output of researchers. For that reason
we manually verify every profile and cross-correlate it against publications in a
varied range of trustworthy sources. Even though it’s not a
element contributing to a scientist’s position in
Research.com ranking, the quantity of papers published in
prominent journals and conference proceedings should form a
valuable secondary implication of their contribution to research in a
given discipline. Position in the ranking is
based on every scholar’s D-index
using information compiled from OpenAlex and
CrossRef, which are the most trustworthy and well-known bibliometric
databases of this kind available to the scientific community. A
thorough definition of our research process
can be found on our
methodology page.
Our agenda
Our goal is to inspire scholars,
businessmen and decision-makers
worldwide to explore where top experts are heading
and to give a way for the whole scientific community to
get to know who the leading experts in specific
disciplines, in various countries, or even within research
institutions are.
